BT Transport control buttons (on front panel and
remote control) - The >|| button can be used to pause
the playback of the playlist audio, and also restart
play of the audio. The >|| icons will change on the
A2698A screen accordingly. The |<< and >>| buttons
can be used to rewind or fast forward through tracks
that are playing, or advance / skip to the beginning of
the next track or back to the beginning of the current
track or a previous track. To rewind or fast forward
through tracks, press and hold the buttons (This
operation is silent, but the LCD will change from '>' to
'>>' for Fast Forward).
To skip the start of the current, previous or next
tracks in the playlist, just press the corresponding
transport buttons momentarily. Moreover, the user
can also fully control the playback from the controls
available on the paired handheld device, and the
A2698A will respond according to the commands
given, such as Play / Pause, Fast Forward / Rewind,
Skip tracks etc.

BT Info - Press the INFO button to scroll through
different types of textual information about the song
that is playing, namely: Time played (Default) > Track
Title > Artist Name > Album Title > Clock Time >
Date. This track data should match what is displayed
on the connected device's screen (clock time and
date may differ because the A2698A gets its time
from a different source automatically – See System
functions).
BT Switching – It is possible to pair multiple devices
with the A2698A and for these devices to be
remembered by the in-built BT module. By pressing
the BT button repeatedly, a user can scroll through to
any other paired device identity and select it for
playback. If the device is within range and has
Bluetooth active, the connection will be restored and
audio playback will commence. The LCD screen will
display this message when a user presses the BT
button to switch to another paired device:
Where 'X' is a number according to the position of the
device in the list order (most recently paired device is
listed first and is number 1) stored by the A2698A BT
module's memory.
There is a set limit on the number of pairings that can
be stored. Tests have verified that the A2698A can
store at least 8 device pairings. While these devices
remain in range and active, they can be selected by
scrolling through the stored list of devices, and
quickly re-engaged for playback purposes.
Even if a paired device has its Bluetooth switched off,
when it is switched on again, the A2698A will retain a
memory of that pairing, and it can be quickly
reconnected from the list of stored paired devices.
NOTE: To clear the paired devices list completely
and in one step, simply perform a factory reset
(Preset memories will also be cleared!) – see Menu
section. Otherwise, a paired handheld device can be
unpaired by the user simply by deleting the A2698A
pairing from that device's list of paired items.
